Biochemistry II

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Biochemistry II is built on the already known energy providing and biosynthetic pathways. We will study the metabolic regulations at different levels: cellular, tissues and whole organism. This means the most important information about enzymes and hormones: their synthesis and mechanisms of action. Especially enzymes are the subject of biotechnology: they are products as well as tools. Considering the human body, we discuss the energy supplies in fasting, sport, work, and also the most frequent pathobiochemical situations (diabetes mellitus). Special subject is the transmembrane processes, which are the targets of a large number of drugs.
